I’ll just provide more and more parts of this and see what y’all say about it.

I’ll provide a new image once a day.

TATE says:
“Micro Macro is a 1978 Australian television panel game show broadcast on the Australian Broadcasting Corporation. It was based on the European show of the same name. Hosted by Noel Ferrier it featured two teams of two competing to identify images flashed on a screen. Teams were led by Carol Raye and Jimmy Hannan and featured celebrity guests. First shown on Thursdays at 8pm it shifted to Mondays at 6pm due to poor ratings.

In the Age John Teerds said of the first episode “Although Ferrier claims to be “the worst compere in Australia”, it is expected his control of the show will improve with practice. There are some faults which could be overcome with practice and with tighter direction.” The Sun-Herald’s Dale Plummer said “If you have a spare half-hour for a spot of minor brain exercise, Micro Macro could be fun, but the game is slow and the scoring obscure.”

The Age’s Dennis Pryor noted “The admirable Noel Ferrier rightly treats the whole thing as an absurd joke. giving his imitation of a rogue elephant waving his trunk at the sheer idiocy of the whole thing.” He says that three weeks in “The regular panellists are beginning to settle down and give the show some shape.”“

I didn’t arrive until 1984, so I can be excused for never having heard of it (or him).

The spacing etc is very imperfect though, which suggests to me it’s part of some organic pattern.

Make cake. Leave for a day or so…lamingtons should be made with semi stale cake. Make runny chocolate icing. Juggle cubes of cake on forks and dunk them in the icing without losing control of them, then toss in coconut. End up with chocolate and coconut and cake crumbs all over the bench. Clean up.

cf Afghans. Mix the ingredients with the Kenwood. Roll out balls, put on baking sheet, squash with fork. Cook. Can ice with chocolate icing if you want. Far less work and mess.

Yes. In binary, which is the language of computers, everything is either a one or a zero. The pic is all ones and zeros except for the “non binary” character.

I think they ran out of alphabetic characters after the LGBTQIFJBSLX+ group kept borrowing them.

It looks like a ‘Y’.

Yes. In binary, which is the language of computers, everything is either a one or a zero. The pic is all ones and zeros except for the “non binary” character.

There’s a non binary character there.

Why?

It’s just a one that is slipping down and hanging on for dear life…

Okay but the thread has been up for three years. At that rate you’ve probably only appeared a couple of hundred times in the last 100 days.

2384804 is the post where Rev discovered the New Testament was written in Greek.

This is from Codex Vaticanus but any of those major Codices read basically the same, and I made minor edits to avoid simple image-search solution, so I’m content with the Bezae Cantabrigiensis answer.

In those days, the text was in all-caps with no punctuation or even spacing between words.

Specifically this is Matthew 5:9, from the part of the Sermon on the Mount known as the Beatitudes, which just means blessings. In academic circles they are also called the Makarisms.

In lower case, with spaces and punctuation:

μακάριοι οἱ εἰρηνοποιοί, ὅτι αὐτοὶ υἱοὶ θεοῦ κληθήσονται.

Which translates as:

Blessed are the peacemakers, for they will be called the sons of God.

Well I enjoyed this and I hope you did too.

I’m glad I spent no more than a couple of attoseconds on that one.

I always thought it was “blessed are the cheesemakers”.

It’s not a groundbreaking revelation. Not a new discovery. Just the natural consequence of dirt cheap compute being foisted on a society of time poor rat racers. Nobody makes a conscious decision to be obsoleted by a robot — it’s just the most efficient use of their time in the moment. Not malice. Not incompétence. Just the tyrannical hand invisibly guiding small decisions in a free market economy.
